ASSESSMENTS, ORIENTATIONS & SCREENINGS

ASSESSMENTS

Fitness Assessments
Trained fitness staff measure and document your flexibility, blood pressure, body mass index, body fat percentage, aerobic capacity and muscular strength and endurance. This is a great way to learn about your individual fitness level so that you may work within your abilities and set realistic goals for progression.


 

Nutrition & Health Risk Assessment
My Y Health is a wellness software program that allows you to answer questions regarding your health and nutrition and then provide you with a summary.  You will find a better idea of areas you may want to improve and can talk with one of our wellness coaches to help you set goals and develop a plan to achieve them. 

 To make an appointment for either assessment, please contact our fitness office: (704) 716-4217.

 To make an appointment for an orientation, please contact our fitness office: (704) 716-4217.

SCREENINGS

 Blood Pressure Monitoring
High blood pressure may have no symptoms, but can lead to serious health problems.  Stop by the CMC Health Center or the Fitness Center and get a blood pressure reading.  It is a simple and quick way to monitor a health risk.
 Body Fat Analysis
One way to measure your progress is by monitoring your body fat percentage.  Muscle is more dense than fat, so the scale can sometimes be misleading.  Your body fat analysis will give you more accurate measurements in terms of progress and overall wellness.
 Cholesterol & Blood Glucose Screening
Our CMC Health Center offers monthly fasting cholesterol and blood sugar screenings.  A full lipid profile will be taken with the option for blood glucose.  Results will be explained and lifestyle adjustments will be recommended as needed.  A 12-hour fast is recommended and guarantees the most accurate results.  Screenings are done the 3rd Wednesday of each month by appointment. 
Cost is $25 for cholesterol only or $30 including blood glucose. 
No appointment needed, just stop by the Fitness Center or CMC Health Center.

 To make an appointment, please contact our fitness office: (704) 716-4217.

To make an appointment, please contact Sarah Duncan, RN at: (704) 716-4254.
